  • Cascading Impacts of Payments for Ecosystem Services in Complex Human-Environment Systems

    Open AccessLi An, Judy Mak et al.ARTICLEJournal of Artificial Societies…2020

    The theory and practice associated with payments for ecosystem services (PES) feature a variety of piecemeal studies related to impacts of socioeconomic, demographic, and environmental variables, lacking e orts in understanding their mutual relationships in a spatially and temporally explicit manner. In addition, PES literature is short of ecological metrics that document the consequences of PES other than land use and land cover and its change. …

  • Evaluating links between dynamic urban landscapes and under-five child mortality in Accra, Ghana

    Open AccessSory Toure, John R Weeks et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2020References: 23

    The primary objectives of this study are to examine intra-urban spatial variation in the rates of under-five-years-old child mortality (5q0) in Accra in 2000 and 2010, as well as between those two dates, and to evaluate potential connections between the ph

  • Arctic greening associated with lengthening growing seasons in Northern Alaska

    Open AccessKyle A Arndt, Maria J Santos et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Many studies have reported that the Arctic is greening; however, we lack an understanding of the detailed patterns and processes that are leading to this observed greening. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is used to quantify greening, which has had largely positive trends over the last few decades using low spatial resolution satellite imagery such as AVHRR or MODIS over the pan-Arctic region. However, substantial fine scale spa…

  • Fertility and urban context

    Open AccessMagdalena Benza, John R Weeks et al.ARTICLEPopulation Space and Place2017References: 13

    Sub‐Saharan Africa has the highest levels of fertility in the world, despite rapid urban growth in most nations of the region. While there are many reasons for the fact that fertility decline is slow in Africa, we hypothesize that the relationship between fertility and urbanization is obscured by the fact that urbanization takes place along a gradient. In the most urban places (e.g., neighborhoods of the largest cities), fertility is apt to be ve…

  • Connecting the Dots Between Health, Poverty and Place in Accra, Ghana

    John R Weeks, Arthur Getis et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…2012Cited by: 4References: 16

    West Africa has a rapidly growing population, an increasing fraction of which lives in urban informal settlements characterized by inadequate infrastructure and relatively high health risks. Little is known, however, about the spatial or health characteristics of cities in this region or about the spatial inequalities in health within them. In this article we show how we have been creating a data-rich field laboratory in Accra, Ghana, to connect …

  • Evidence and Implications of Recent Climate Change in Northern Alaska and Other Arctic Regions

  • Relating CO 2 fluxes to spectral vegetation indices in tundra landscapes

    Open AccessA S Hope, Allen Hope et al.ARTICLEPolar Record1995References: 10

    Carbon flux measurements made at an elevated point are associated with an effective upwind area or ‘footprint.’ Since Arctic tundra landscapes can exhibit substantial heterogeneity within the footprint of an eddy correlation tower, it may be necessary to determine the relative point source contributions to the observed flux if landscape properties are to be related to the flux. This study evaluates the potential importance of representing footpri…
